Billionaire and business mogul, Ifeanyi Ubah has debunked the widespread tales that he narrowly escaped an assassination attempt on Sunday, may 10,2015 which resulted in the death of one of his aides. The amiable CEO of Capital oil who is also the Founder of Ambassador of Nigeria (TAN) said the rumour is not only false but an attempt to rubbish his image. In a statement released by his Media aides on Monday, May 11, 2015 he denied the report.
:
“Just early this morning, news of an assassination attempt on the life of the founder of Transformation Ambassador of Nigeria (TAN) Dr. Patrick Ifeanyi was all over social media and we have reason to debunk this as it is not true but a figment of the imagination of mischief makers. They even reported that one of his aides was killed in the assassination attempt.
Dr. Ifeanyi Ubah is hale and hearty. He was in Taraba just yesterday as he went to watch his football club, Ifeanyi Ubah FC. He is in high spirit and enjoying himself. He was even interviewed by the AIT crew on ground at the stadium.
The story is not true and should be disregarded. I spoke with him just now and he has asked me to make these clarifications. Thank you”
